So, who really promotes Racisim?
A historically caucasian organization being chartered at an HBCU is different from an NPHC (or other black org) being chartered at a "white" school.

First and foremost, the black greek movement began at Cornell, which is not an HBCU.

If one views HBCUs as monuments to black culture and tradition, then I can understand why a supporter of HBCUs would get up in arms about it. I don't necessarily agree, but I do understand.

I mean, it's not like they are being founded because white students have SUCH a hard time at HBCUs that they need their own support system. Not do they face discrimination in society to the extent that they NEED the networking and support that fraternal organizations and GLOs provide.

But..... I feel like we've gone that route before on this board, so I'll just hush now.
